The range of options is much

bigger than anyone expected, so

we’ve collected four of the most

interesting new releases for our

latest test. We’ve got a selection

that ranges from our top pick for

the under-£100 budget, right up

to the successor to Apple’s wildly

popular AirPods, which come

with a big price tag but luckily

have the features to match.

All will work with any phone,

but the AirPods have better

software support with Apple

gear, and the Huawei’s are the

same on Huawei phones.
